Summary

This pilot study tests whether a video-based prehabilitation program—including education, stress management, and physical activity coaching—can help people prepare for total knee replacement surgery. Forty adults scheduled for knee replacement will either receive this program or standard pre-surgery advice. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible, safe, and acceptable, with secondary looks at pain, function, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Multimodal biopsychosocial teleprehabilitation (education, stress management, and physical activity coaching via video calls)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a better way to prepare patients for knee replacement, potentially improving recovery and reducing pain.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (40 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to everyone.
